What q Small BOY Can DO.
IN the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
1t appears Impossible to predict
what the average small boy will do
under almost any given circumstance
If he has an opportunity to work mis-
chief. The following story from Pilot
Point, Texas serves 70 illustrate the
point taken: Newton Tabor was dig
glng q well. 70 blast out the rock lie
used dynamite lnclosed in small me-
tal!ic capsules. In the course OF his
operations he deposited an open box
OF these dangerous capsules at the
root OF g tree near where he was work
ing. A ladder leaning against the tree
reached up to q mocking birds nest
containing young brood. His ten
yearold son Dick, with q couple OF ht.
capsules in his hand, assembled the lad
der, and discovering the young birds
with distended mouths, boy like,
dropped the capsules, one at time,
in one birds mouth. They forthwith
disappeared in the birds craw. This
rendered the bird uncomfortable. and
in the struggle for relief it tell from the
nest. Upon striking the ground an ex-
plosion occurred which tore up the
earth, dumped a quantity OF the loose
dirt, and the fragments OF rock piled
around into the well and came near
killing Mr.. Tabor, who was working
down below. The boy te!l from the
ladder and was badly hurt, suffering
fracture OF some bones. This shows
what boy will do when he gets r
chance,

Detected bX His Speech

\ fatal habit OF speech is thus de-
scribed by the Boston Post: ! heard on
State street oneday an authentic story
of detective acuteness. Everybody Is
familiar with the trick that many
men have OF Gaping whatever they
hear said, when they do not dissent,
with some fayorite expression. Thus,
ore man says "precisely." another
"eXactly;" and there Is a COnslderabl
faction for whom the words ''iust so, +"
or "to be sure" seem to fill the re-
quired need. Not long ago a Boston
man stole large sum OF money from
his employers and fed to the West
A description OF him was sent TO de-
tectives and police superintendent
generally, and about a month after
his escape a Minnesota officer tele.
graphed that he thought he had his
eye upon the person wanted. His APP
pearance, however, was very different
from that described in the circular.
The situation was q pressing one; II
the supposed criminal was such in
fact, he might at any moment fly 10
Canada. On the other hand. TO ar
rest an innocent person would cause
q good deal OF trouble. The object
was to Identify the man if possible
within a few hours. In this emergen-
cy the Boston detective in charge OF
the case examined the thief's employ
ers as to his peculiarltie7. They could

" the detective inquired. in moment
OF inspiration, ii he had any particu-
lar way OF expressing himself. Yes"
was the reply; Il never knew the fel-
low to talk three minutes without
saying L believe YOU" In half an
hour the information was telegraDhri
to the West; within four hours tie
Minnesota detective had 4 long chat
with his man, and before night the
thief was arrested.

There has been element OF character dis
played among the people everywhere on
our travel, which has been universal, and
not disturbed or changed by any difference
in place or circumstance. No state lines
have clrcumscribed, no local pride has di-
minished ard no business activity has in
the least stif1ed the kindness and cordiality
OF the peoples welcome. There is
bitterness enough in the partisan
feeling which seems inseparable
from our political methods; but the good
people of the United STATES have, | believe.
decreed that there are occasions when this
shall have no place. | cannot forget my
interest in municipal affairs, arising from
an active experience at one time in CITY
government; ant, found myself very much
inclined to scrutinize such statements
as fall under my eye demonstrating their
financial condition. With all it's extern
sive public improvements, unless l am
much at fault, the city OF Milwaukee has
less OF public debt than any OF its popu-
lation in the United States excepting one.
In these days, when the temptation to To-
cal public extravaganza is not often
enough withstood, you may well be proud
OF this exhibit, and besides the satsfac-
ton which this financial condition pro.
duces has a practical side to it. Large en-.
terprises are often much influenced in their
location by such consideration, and they
are apt to be established where the burden
OF taxation is the least and where the
share OF pu bic Indebtedness to be born by
them is the smallest.
In the evening there was u grand ban.
quet. Mr.. Cleveland entered on the arm of
+. c. Andrews. president OF the Merchants
association. He was received with ap-
plause and made q neat little speech He
said:
feel like thanking you for remembering
on this occasion the president OF the
United States; Tor am sure you but in
tend respectful recognition OF the magni-
tude and Importance OF the high office
for the time being hold in trust for you
and for the American people. 1t is high
office because it represents the sovereignty
OF free and mighty people 1t is full OF
solemn responsibility and duty, because it
embodies in q greater degree than any 9TH
er office on earth the suffrage and trust of
such q people. AS an American citizen,
chosen from the mass OF his fellow country.

men to assume for time this responsible
ty and duty, | acknowledge with patriotic
satisfaction your tribute to the office which
belongs to us all. And because it belongs tc
all the people, the obligation is manifest on
their part to maintain a constant and
continuous watchfulness and interest
concerning it's care and operation. Their
duty is not entirely done when they have
exercised their suffrage and indicated their
choice OF the incumbent; nor is their duty
performed by settling down to bitter, ma
lignant and selfish abuse OF what is done
or attempted to be done by the incumbent
selected. The acts of an administration
should not be approved as matter oil
course and for no better reason than
that it represents political party;
but more unpatriotic than nil others
are those who. having neither party

insist that the office which stands for the

A Valuable Book Cheap.

Everyone knows the value aud intrinsic
worth Of the Encyclopedias Britannica,
that standard reference book which has
for many years been the model and chief
foundation stone for a long series Of more
or less base limitations. But while all
have admitted the great worth Of the
work, the high price at which the stand,
ard English edition mas always sold has
prevented the volumes from having any
thing like a general circulation. This
vital objection has lately been entirely
overcome by the enterprise Of the publish
ing firm Of Henry G. Allen & Co,
who have put OF the market a re-
print which possesses all the advantages
of the original edition at but a traction Of
its cost. IL should be seen by all who de-
